Here's to 2011 Blog Giveaway!

Okidoki dearies, in the spirit of the holiday season, here's a little something something for all my readers based in the Philippines! As with online flash sale sites, this giveaway is only on until December 31!

One lucky reader will get all these:

1 J.Crew reusable canvas tote - got this at Woodbury Common while on a personal buying spree, heehee. Got one for myself, and another one for one lucky reader =) We're going to be J.Crew canvas bag twins!
(FYI: not the exact same design, but something similar to this!)

1 Marc Jacobs leopard print keychain - something I got at Bookmarc on Bleecker Street, a week or so after it opened, while doing research for a story I wrote for The Radar.

1 Belle de Jour 2011 Power Planner (for her) - because we all need to start the year right by being organized!


1 Navi Life Navigator 2011 Planner (for him) - because your man/brother/guy friend/cousin or whoever you want to give this to, needs a planner in his life too!


While another lucky reader will get:

A set of 2011 Belle de Jour and Navi Planners!

I wish I could throw in more prizes because I know you honeyz deserve more!  I've been meaning to throw a blog giveaway since I was in the US (I know, that was months ago already!), but demands of real life always take over and I just kept pushing this to a later date, and man, I have only these to show!

Bayo, Kamiseta, Plains and Prints, Mango, Giordano
and lately regatta for their tummy friendly shirts (hehe)
I like it that you feature high end brands yet mix it up with affordable alternatives; your choice of clothes are simple, functional yet classy and elegant.
I especially like that you share Berry with us. I have a baby girl Berry`s age and I get amused at just how fast our little kikay darlings have grown.
I would like to have more of Berry and your outfit posts in 2011. Happy New Year MFO!

- I usually shop at The Ramp in G4/Shang mall for my work clothes. I like the classic yet quirky dresses they have. And the items are made of good materials as well! For non-work clothes, I usually shop at Zara, Mango, Promod and Warehouse.

2. I love that you blog about your life as a mom, your interests and that you are not confined to blogging about just the pricey designer stuff.

3. I can't wait for you to start blogging about Singapore fashion and great food finds!

Btw, we already have Happy Lemon at Promenade, Greenhills!!!!

Happy new year to you and your family Christine!

1. Nina Beatrice Lacson, 21, e-ad: ninalacson@gmail.com.

FAVORITE LABELS/SHOPS:
Zara TRF for trendy streetstyle ragged clothes; Gap for cheap yet chic bags; Levis for jeans; redattic.multiply.com for vintage clothes finds; Rockwell Tent and World Trade Center (American Women's, in particular) bazaars; Aranaz for chic local bags --from clutches to big bags and now her accessories (or her sister's); RIIR bags as well for that streetstyle native-eco vibe feel; The Ramp for putting up everything local in a one-stop-shop store; Hongkong boutiques, H&M thru e-bay and muliply stores --I have yet to visit Hongkong's flagship store or the soon-to-open H&M Singapore flagship store at that, and of course, thrift shops in Cubao and Anonas area.

2. What I like best about your blog is that you update us, readers, of what's coming out in stores, discounts in the metro and all sorts of good finds, really. Like I couldn't forget that it is here I knew that Jeffrey Campbell will be available at Fashion Forum and that RIIR bags are going on sale --some recent updates that I have in mind. Your blog just keeps us updated which I really love. It just shows that you impart to your readers your finds and really research about stuff.

3. Read more?? About you. Posting outfit posts and seeing you carry/wear the clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, etc.

Following you on twitter via ninabeaaa and tweeted about your giveaway already.

Love,

My favorite labels and shops include Topshop (for almost everything!), Zara (for basics), and Forever 21 (for accessories). If I may also add Beauty Bar (and Sephora when overseas) because I like make-up, a lot. Heeh.

Your blog is my go-to read when I want to learn the newest in fashion and retail. Your NY and Singapore adventures are fun to read too! I hope to read more articles on beauty and cosmetics:)

Aside from the giveaways, I like the features on great fashion finds that end in my wishlist. Also, I find the fashionably cute Berry really adorable. I hope to style up my nieces that way too.

I look forward to reading more about the fashion trends here and abroad, as well as the blogger’s tales on being a stylish mom. Love it! ♥

Happy New Year!

Camy Francisco, cdfrancisco04@gmail.com, 27 years old, Graphic Designer, Artist, Fashionaholic and Professional Daydreamer

For Basics and Accessories, I go for Forever 21 and/or SM Department store.
For Layerings, shoes and Key pieces, Zara and Topshop
For the "Tim Burton" Lovechild in me, Bleach Catastrophe, The I Love You Store, Paradigm Shift and some random vintage stores at Cubao X.

I love your blog because of the variety of updates ranging from high end products to the low end. You update us with sales, fashion news both international and local. Plus, you have a very approachable vibe, without all the pretention and name dropping that most fashion bloggers do these days.

*Your adorable daughter is an added plus, giving the blog a cute moment and as an intermission between fashion and beauty articles.*

Hopefully, I would want to read more reviews on beauty and cosmetics. So far the ones you did by far had been very informative.

More power to you and to your blog.

For shoes, I also love Ichigo shoes (from The Ramp.

2. What I loved about your blog is that you feature really great clothes that are affordable and attainable to everyone. Because there are a lot of fashion blogs that features really great clothes but were too expensive for us. Your blog features clothes that we can also buy and afford.

I also loved that you were able to mix your being a fashionista and being a great mom to Berry (and also a great wife of course!)
